(Learn More) The Search, the 1948 Fred Zinnemann (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Swiss/U.S. post-World War II (WWII) orphan/soldier relationship melodrama ("Everybody agrees MGM's The Search is a wonderful motion picture!"; about an American soldier in post World War II Berlin, who helps a lost Czechoslovakian boy find his mother, and deeply bonds with him) starring Montgomery Clift (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; his first released movie!), Aline MacMahon, Jarmila Novotna, Wendell Corey, and Ivan Jandl. Note that this was Montgomery Clift's first released movie (technically Red River was shot first, but it was released after this film), and MGM had no idea of how audiences would react to his new style of male hero, and so he was not even pictured on the posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Note that this auction also includes the original printed MGM envelope this pressbook came in! Those mailing envelopes are extremely rare and almost never offered for sale. Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Condition: good, WITH CUTS. All the interior pages are on newsprint and are very fragile. One of those pages has cuts. The covers are printed on a better quality paper and are uncut, but there are smudges on the back cover. Learn More about condition grades
